"The ocean has always been apart of my life and has helped to create the person I am today. I shoot around three times a week with surfers and with just waves. My whole purpose is to share my love of the ocean with others and to show others the beauty of the ocean.”

The name "Unionmade" was conceived around the notion of well-made and aesthetically classic goods. It also conveys what we are about: Collaborating, uniting and making things together.
Photographer Chad Lyons
A union of makers that began in the tattoo studio set the ground work for a friendship that resulted in the bike trip of a lifetime. From float planes to seven summits with grizzly encounters... the universe aligned to offer a seamlessly unplanned trip that was perfect in every way. Sometimes one can't help but feel that they are EXACTLY where they need to be. That was the story of the two week bike adventure that will never be forgotten.

SEATTLE, WASH.
Black Manufacturing, LLC launches its revival of Seattle’s Black Bear Brand.
Newly formed Black Manufacturing, LLC, will be breathing new life into the iconic Seattle-area Black Bear Brand. Drawing our inspiration from the union-made culture and aesthetic of the original goods, the revived Black Bear Brand will be highlighted by our collaborations with like-minded companies, individuals and other heritage American brands.
We carry on the history of Black Bear Brand by providing reinterpretations of classic work wear that remain true to the quality, grit and rawness that made the original brand a staple of the Pacific Northwest for over 100 years. Our story is part of the larger American story—the story of continuous reinvention and innovation, of the freedom to chart your own path and the possibilities that exist where the fiercely independent can participate as a union.
We are committed to preserving the brand’s rich history, keeping the products simple, and keeping the story alive.
Please contact Josh Sirlin for any inquiries on the brand and what’s to come. josh@blackbearunion.com - 206.883.7988
